What on earth is happening to HN?
I'm with you. Every dogecoin related thread is full of content-free comments like "such X" and "wow". I do my part to down vote all of them. It's about as funny and clever as a rick-roll at this point.
And I do my part and wish them away really hard because I cannot downvote.

Get over yourself. Such mad.
I am not upset. I am horrendously disappointed. I suppose Bitcoiners had a similiar disrespect for HN when they came flooding in ~3 years ago, too.

Perhaps, but I'm not convinced. I imagine the fact that Dogecoin is based around a meme has a lot to do with it.

Outside guess that we'll be dead by then.

#59You should add difficulty/hashrate charts too and maybe the ability to overlay any two charts. Did you hack out a custom address? How is that possible since a private key has to exist. I thought one was based on the other.
There's a vanity address generator, which bruteforces private keys until it finds a corresponding public key that matches your desired pattern.
I forget where the generator lives, but it runs locally and eats CPU for hours.

The community, and particularly the generosity of tipping, seems to have been a driving factor. There are already multiple "tipping bots" on Twitter, which will give out Doge on command. There's speculation that a similar functionality for Facebook would be like strapping SRB's to the side of the Doge moonrocket, and give it Much Velocity.
You mention the generosity (which I agree with), but also the act of online tipping is a use case that crypto-currencies handle substantially better than me putting a dollar bill in a paper envelope and mailing it or paying a 25 cent transaction fee to tip 10 cents.
Yup. Reddit had bitcoin tipping functionality back when bitcoins were a buck or two. Getting tipped a quarter convinced me to figure out this cryptocurrency thing. Taking that mechanism outside of the Reddit sandbox is a big help.
And yeah, I spent my quarter-BTC on Humble Bundles. Oops.
